"Never buy anything in a room with a chandelier" and "If the scotch is 12 years old and the shrimp are the size of your fist, run and take your checkbook with you, there is no product*" are from Harvey McKay, syndicated business columnist and author.

"Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something." - Kurt Vonnegut

Gee whiz, no one has mentioned colorblind electrician yet. Red wire, green wire, they both look the same!!!

I have a form of red/green color blindness but I can easily discern primary colors. The thing I have the most trouble with are shades of green (green has the longest color range and when it gets closer to teals or yellow is where I have difficulties. I found out when I applied with Ma Bell to be an outside plant worker (think: splicing and terminating).

I have a different road on this. A lesson learned is often better than a lesson never encountered? But it's sounding too much like "To have loved and lost than to have never loved at all". Anyway,Maybe the guy with no brows will be much more concerned about getting it right in the future.
